Today we’d like to introduce you to Keren Levy.
Keren, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I have always been passionate about healing others. After graduating with a BA in psychology, I needed to decide whether to continue with psychology or find a different modality.
As I realized the limitations of strict psychotherapy, I began to search for other ways to heal the body. Through this research, I was drawn to alternative medicine’s holistic approach. I had always felt that conventional medicine’s approach of suppressing symptoms with medications could not be the answer. So, when I came across Homeopathic Medicine, I felt that I had found my calling. I was so impressed with this 200-year-old system discovered by a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann. There were amazing stories about the cures during the epidemics in Europe. I was thrilled to hear that there were over 100 Homeopathic Hospitals in the U.S back in the early 1900s. However, as conventional medicine progressed alongside the pharmaceutical industry, the practice of homeopathic medicine became banned. I was determined to study it and use it to help all the people I could. Today, as I work in conjunction with two amazing pediatricians, integrating Homeopathy and conventional medicine, I have been able to reach a wide range of people as I act as a homeopathic consultant for the entire family. I am grateful for this opportunity.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My biggest struggles surrounded my choice to follow an unconventional path of study instead of the conventional path to graduate school in psychology. Choosing a historically banned and traditionally shunned field in the united states was risky. I had to find a way to integrate homeopathy into the conventional American medical system.
It was challenging, 15 years ago, and even now, it is a miracle that I am able to find a medical practice with doctors open to homeopathy. In our practice, we are now able to all work together educating and healing the entire family.

There are various forms of homeopathy. Additionally, there are numerous over the counter products that are homeopathic. To help understand homeopathy, I will explain Classical Homeopathy and Homotoxicology.
Classical Homeopathy is the original way of practicing homeopathy. I am a Classical Homeopath. The philosophy of homeopathy teaches us that in order to shift the body from ailments on the physical, mental and emotional level, we have to match the body with one Remedy (the term for homeopathic medicines). This Remedy must fit the totality of the person in order to bring the body to a more balanced, healed state.
There are no generic remedies for specific ailments. Seeing a homeopath to match the body with the correct remedy is crucial.
Homotoxicology is a more modern way of homeopathy, which creates a group of remedies assigned to a particular ailment or symptoms, and addresses only the physical level. These are homeopathic formulas generally sold over the counter. The goal of these formulas is to eliminate toxins from the body and treat the symptoms.
To assist in my goal of deeper healing as a classical Homeopath, I developed a coaching method called RE- Patterning. These modalities together allow me to practice homeopathy while giving people everyday life tools to maintain their healing. This approach facilitates a true shift out of old habits while creating new positive ones-only then may an individual freely chooses the life that they aspire towards.
Is there a quality or characteristic that has played an outsized role in your success?
I think my most important ability is being able to identify my goals. Once I identified my goals, it became simple to create my life. Concentrate on how you want your life to look, to feel, while anything is possible, it is easy to get overwhelmed and lost on the path to our dreams. Keep it basic and simple. Health and balance are attainable. I am successful because I followed my heart as I searched for what I wanted to achieve.
